As per title my engine sounds and runs terribly suddenly.
It was fine all day then pulled into the woods to let my friend have a go and had some fun myself so the engine was used a very little bit harder than normal but hardly much and only for 10 minutes.
Driving back it begun okay then trying to pull away from the lights it coughed slightly and revs seemed to drop so I dipped the clutch and pressed the throttle to see if the revs picked up and if the engine would run smoother again but nothing - it just kept popping, juddering, hesitating and producing no power . I limped round the corner at my max speed of about 2mph (no joke - almost zero power) ..and I really did limp round, if the apex of the corner didn't run downhill I wouldn't have made it.
I left it in the drive for 4 hours then just went out to film it and after it first started it seemed okay again. Then as soon as it got revved a bit it spluttered then stalled. Then second time it starts (on the video) it stays running a bit long but sounds really bad and has this constant popping note.
Can anyone shed any light on this?
Sorry the video is not great quality and the fan seemed to have shagged the mic but I hope it is clear enough to help a diagnosis. I think towards the end of the second time it starts is when you can see/hear it at its worse.

P.S. You might notice that the engine will also only start once I RELEASE the ignition key. If you have any input on that problem I have it open on another thread here: http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f6/engine-only-starts-when-ignition-key-released-160628.html
